Me? I guess you could best describe me as experiential. I enjoy
trying new and different things; sometimes if only for the
experience. I've done a little bit of traveling, and one of the
things I like the most about it is when I get the chance just to
walk around in the new area and experience it in an organic way.
While I'm sure I would have fun at a resort in say, Cabo San Lucas,
I think I would prefer a stay in Guanajuato instead. I see the
former as sort of manufactured and cookie cutter, and the latter as
more real and human.
Don't get me wrong, there are things that are tried and true, and
just because I've done them before doesn't mean they aren't worth
doing again. And sometimes these manufactured adventurers can be a
lot of fun. A good experience is a good experience after all. But
what I would really like is someone to join me in whatever my next
adventure (or misadventure) may be.

I really not sure that I'm comfortable answering this question
initially with a description of my job, but that is what I am going
to do anyway. I've never wanted to define myself with my job. For
me work is just a means to an end. Granted I did put a lot of
effort into ensuring that this means is enjoyable and capable.
Anyway, they call me a "project engineer." I work for a small
industrial automation company making machines in factories hum and
whirr when someone presses a button. (Think about that show How
it's Made.) I like what I do, but It's not my end-all be-all.

I once read that an important aspect of having a good life is to
have dreams not just memories. I think about that a lot sometimes.
Basically when we are all young life is usually pretty good. We
look at the world with bright eyes, and see all sorts of
opportunities and dreams. Then we grow old, and sometimes jaded.
Dreams breakdown, and go away. Then maybe we get stuck in a rut,
and are left with only our memories. The archetype is like Uncle
Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. A man that has run into a dead end,
and all in life that makes him happy is thinking back to the “good
old days” of high school football. I try to avoid that. I try to
have more dreams than memories. I hope I always will.

At times, when I am in good form, I'm really good at telling
stories/jokes. I am also good at giving in to the allure of a
Mexican restaurant, and I think I might be developing an addiction
to chips and salsa.

I am pretty scatter brained. I think about all sorts of stuff all
the time. I don't know if there is really one thing that uses up
most of my thinking time. I do have some reoccurring thoughts
though. I think that I will share them in order to get my word
count up.

Often I’ll look at something (typically a metal object) and then
think about the enormous amount of natural resources that were used
to create that all of those items. For example: Imagine the metal
parts of eyes in your shoes. Now think about all the shoes in the
world, and thus all the shoe eyes in the world. Imagine all those
metal rings taken out and piled up. All of them in the entire
world. Think about all the metal used up in that item alone. All
that metal came from the earth, and a near countless number of
those rings are being made everyday. That amazes me. So next time
you see some object that looks relatively insignificant apply that
thought process to it. Maybe you’ll be amazed as well.

Also I tend to personify inanimate objects. I’ll look at something
and based upon its features I’ll subscribe a personality to it.
Yeah, it’s kind of odd. Probably comes from watching too many
cartoons like Brave Little Toaster as a kid.
